(54) | Sample supporting mesh and method of observing a rubber slice |
(57) Left (11d) and right (11e) sides of the mesh (11) sandwiching the placing region
(11b) therebetween are set as left and right to-be-fixed portions to be fixed to sample
holder separation portions (13a,b) respectively to be moved in a stretch direction
(A). A slit (12a,b) for dividing use is formed from a portion of the periphery of
the mesh disposed between the left and right to-be-fixed portions (11d,e) thereof
toward the rubber slice-placing position of the mesh in a direction orthogonal to
the stretch direction of the rubber slice or a direction inclined thereto. When the
to-be-fixed portions are moved in a separation direction by moving the sample holder
separation portions (13a,b), the mesh (11) is divided into left and right parts by
the slit for dividing use so that the rubber slice (10) fixed to the left and right
sides of the mesh is stretched.
